84: A desperate battle, a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity.

Facing the desperate situation of being attacked from both front and rear, Qiao Feng and the others showed no fear; instead, a sense of determination to make a last stand surged within them.

Qiao Feng knew well that they could not panic at this moment, so he quickly made a plan: "Listen everyone, we cannot face enemies on two fronts simultaneously. First, concentrate our strength to deal with the Fire Turtle, then deal with the Dark Holy Cult!"

After speaking, Qiao Feng once again unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. This time, he perfectly fused his mysterious Legacy with the power of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, making his palm force even more vigorous and unmatched than before.

Golden palm prints flashed with mysterious runes, blasting towards the Fire Turtle like a shooting star chasing the moon.

Fu Hongxue did not show any weakness either; as he swung his long saber, the Saber Qi of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon" became increasingly fierce.

He gauged the Fire Turtle's movement trajectory, his figure drifting like a ghost as he attacked the Fire Turtle's weak points.

Every slash was imbued with all his strength and killing intent, attempting to break through the Fire Turtle's hard defense.

West Gate Blows Snow and Ye Gucheng combined their swords, their Sword Qi crisscrossing and transforming into a brilliant streak of silver light.

The two of them acted as one, moving freely through the flames, constantly looking for flaws in the Fire Turtle; once found, they would launch an attack without hesitation.

The Man in Black Robe moved his hands like phantoms, and ice-blue runes flew out like snowflakes, rapidly condensing in the air into a huge ice cage.

This cage emitted a bone-chilling cold, attempting to imprison the Fire Turtle within and weaken the power of its flames.

The Woman in White played her jade flute more and more urgently; the flute sound was like weeping and complaining, and the white light it transformed into surged like a tide, not only strengthening the defensive shields of everyone but also creating a powerful interference effect on the Fire Turtle.

Under the shroud of light, the Fire Turtle's movements were significantly slowed, and its attack rhythm was disrupted.

The members of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect also unleashed their respective ultimate techniques.

The Blood Demon unleashed the eerie Blood Demon Cultivation Technique, his hands transforming into blood-red claws, and his blood-red spiritual energy, like a furious beast, lunged towards the Fire Turtle, attempting to tear open its defense.

The Sect Master of the Nether Ghost Sect waved his staff, summoning ancient Ghost Spirits. The Ghost Spirits emitted a dense, eerie light, letting out bone-chilling roars as they engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Fire Turtle.

The Fire Turtle felt unprecedented pressure; it struggled frantically, and the flames on its body erupted like a volcanic eruption, attempting to break through everyone's siege.

However, everyone's attacks were as dense as a rainstorm, making it difficult for it to parry.

Just as everyone was in the heat of battle with the Fire Turtle, the Cult Master of the Dark Holy Cult and the Mysterious Figure led their subordinates and gradually approached.

The Cult Master of the Dark Holy Cult looked at Qiao Feng and the others caught in a bitter struggle, a smug smile appearing on their face: "Hmph, let's see where you can run this time! Once you have been worn down enough by the Fire Turtle, that will be the time for us to make our move."

The Mysterious Figure had a gloomy face, staring intently at Qiao Feng and the others, especially at the ancient book in the old man's hand, greed flashing in their eyes: "The secret of the southern bright fire pearl is in that ancient book; we must not let them succeed."

At this moment, although Qiao Feng and the others were attacking the Fire Turtle with all their might, the Fire Turtle's strength was too great, and it was difficult to defeat it for a time.

Meanwhile, the people from the Dark Holy Cult were pressing closer step by step, and the situation was becoming increasingly critical.

"This won't do; we must finish this quickly!" Qiao Feng shouted.

He once again gathered all his internal energy and unleashed a palm technique he had never used before.

He moved his hands, and golden palm shadows appeared in the air; these palm shadows overlapped, eventually forming a huge golden Dragon claw, which viciously clawed towards the Fire Turtle.

Fu Hongxue also unleashed the ultimate Profound Truth of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon"; the Saber Qi on his long saber condensed into a huge black crescent moon, carrying world-destroying power as it slashed towards the Fire Turtle.

West Gate Blows Snow and Ye Gucheng's swords shone brightly; the two were of one mind and simultaneously launched their strongest strike.

The Sword Qi merged together, transforming into a dazzling silver beam of light, piercing straight at the Fire Turtle.

The Man in Black Robe pushed the power of the rune array to the limit; the ice-blue light almost completely enveloped the Fire Turtle, and the powerful freezing force attempted to completely extinguish the Fire Turtle's flames.

The Woman in White played the final passionate tune, and the white light, like shooting stars, rained down upon the Fire Turtle.

The members of the Blood Demon Hall and the Nether Ghost Sect also exhausted their last ounce of strength; the Blood Demon's blood-red spiritual energy and the Ghost Spirits' power from the Nether Ghost Sect combined to attack the Fire Turtle.

Under everyone's all-out attack, the Fire Turtle let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering wail.

The flames on its body began to gradually extinguish, and its huge body swayed a few times before finally collapsing to the ground with a loud crash.

"We succeeded!" Qiao Feng shouted.

Everyone had no time to celebrate and quickly turned around to face the approaching people from the Dark Holy Cult.

The Cult Master of the Dark Holy Cult and the Mysterious Figure's expressions changed drastically when they saw the Fire Turtle defeated.

But they did not intend to give up just like that; instead, they rushed towards Qiao Feng and the others even more crazily.

A more intense battle was about to erupt. Having consumed a great amount of physical strength after defeating the Fire Turtle, could Qiao Feng and the others, in this state of extreme exhaustion, repel the people from the Dark Holy Cult and continue on their journey to find the flame marrow crystal?

Would they be able to successfully find the flame marrow crystal and complete the Seal of the southern bright fire pearl?

The situation in the Jianghu was becoming increasingly tense, and everything awaited them to be revealed...
